How The Platypus Came to Be
“It is done”, God said,
“It’s time to take a rest.”
The angels marveled at the sun and stars,
Jesus liked the Earth the best.
God’s workshop was a jumble,
And Gabriel started to clean.
He found a pile of extra parts,
And caused some kind of scene.
“You know I can’t stand waste, Lord.
“You’ve got to use these bits,”
“Can’t be done,” God told him.
“Nothing left there fits.”
“You’re the Lord!” Said Gabriel,
“Ain’t nothing you can’t do.”
So God jammed the bits together,
And made the platypus and you.

Poetic Asides, Day 4
Prompt: pick an animal; write a poem
Yes, I know, this is from my archives, but it fits the prompt and I am very, very busy!
OF.COURSE! If HE doesn’t use that one in his Ebook, he’s … well, I won’t be mean! But he SHOULD use it!
Very very good!
The poor old platypus
put together in a schnoos
Quilly did a good job
by not making him a slob
Three cheers for the author
She is quite the scribe
I guess the Lord listened
and took her bribe
This is still one of my favorites. I’m happy to see it again.
I love that one, the first time I read it I had to google platypus to get the point. You did right digging it out of the archives, especially on a busy night!
Nice One
Thanks to you I learned another word and enlarged my general knowledges about the bible !
I didn’t know what a “platypus” was and now I think that I must have been that in my former life because I love to chatter !
Melli — you are my greatest fan — or at the very least right up there with OC and my sister.
Cherie — thank you.
Thom — Oi. Okay. You aren’t a poet. What do you know. You were right. But only this once.
Doug — I am glad you like it.
Jientje — company this morning and OC had a concert tonight.
Bill — thank you.
Gattina — boy, I sure hope you aren’t considering this poem Bible teaching!
Ha!!!! I knew you’d finally see it my way LOL
No one said you had to write it today. You are explaining so many curious things lately.
well, it may be a rerun but i still think it’s excellent!
Well it might be from your archives but *I* haven’t seen it before and I think it is brilliant!
Accounts for a lot that does…
Yup, it is from your archives, and yup I have read it before… and still I loved reading it again. Great poem, Quilly!!!
